Everest Region Trek

The name "Everest" is magic in itself. Everest (8848m.) is called "SAGARMATHA" in Nepali - "Higher than the Sky" and "CHHOMOLUNGMA" in Tibetan - "Mother Goddess of the Earth".

The Mount Everest or Solu Khumbu region is one of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal - tinged with the romance of being so close to the highest mountain in the world. The route lies in the highest wildlife reserve in the world, the Sagarmatha National Park. It covers an area of 1,148 sq. km. of Himalayan ecological zone. The park altitudes range from 2,845m at Monju to the top of the world, UNESCO listed the park as a World Heritage Site in 1979 for its unique natural, cultural and landscape characteristics.

A trek in this region follows the course of the Dudh Kosi, the 'River of Milk', gradually climbing through forests of rhododendron and magnolia. It takes one to the foothills of the mightiest of the mountains in the world. En route, one traverses through rhododendron and pine forests, rivers, Sherpa villages and Buddhist Monasteries from temperate to snow line regions. The Himalayas are best seen on this trek as one traces the main route through the Khumbu region from the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar. Trekkers get a close view of the world's greatest mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Tawache and many other unnamed mountains and peaks.

For the people of this exotic region, the hard grind in the daily life in the high Himalayas is interrupted by seasons of feasts and festivals, marked by dancing and general merry making. Most festivals are of religious nature and centre on the temples and monasteries, with rites conducted by lamas (priests). These festivals are spread out through the full moon days of May, June, July, August and November in different sections of the Himalayas. While the Sherpas are the most predominant people of Solukhumbu, in the lower region of Solu, the Khaling Rai culture prevails as well. In Khumbu where agriculture land is limited, livestock raising and trade is more important, while Solu with less severe winters grows a variety of staple crops.

Annapurna Region Trek

The Annapurna region in Central Nepal is one of the most geographically and culturally diverse regions for trekking! The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) working along with the King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation has declared this region as area of conservation and sustainable development. Stretched over 2600 sq.km., the area boasts of a variety of diverse cultures, tribes and castes as the Brahmins, Chettris, Newars, Gurungs, Magars, Manangis and the Tibetans. This area has sub-tropical lowlands, valleys, bamboo, oak and rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, windswept desert plateaus and the towering Annapurna Mountains.

Annapurna Himal and the town of Pokhara dominate Annapurna area. There are three major trekking routes in this region to Jomsom, to Annapurna sanctuary and Annapurna circuit and Pokhara is also a good starting place for a number of short treks of one to four days duration, including the ‘Royal Trek’.

This great trek offers you the view of Marsyangdi valley, Manaslu, Himalchuli, Lamjung and Manang your first slice of Tibetan culture and landscape. The walking pace slows to allow for safe acclimatization and a rest Day in the tiny village of Manang allows time to explore the great glacier of Gangapurna and to prepare for the crossing of the famed Thorong La Pass (5395m). The rewards for your effort in reaching the top are extraordinary view across the entire Annapurna range, northern to the wild plateau of western Tibet and west across the forbidden land of Mustang. A well-earned rest Day at the small village of Muktinath on the western side of Thorong La allows time to recuperate and explore the hallowed Vishnu temple of Jiwala Mayi before walking back to Pokhara down the spectacular Kali Gandaki valleys. The deepest gorge on the earth with Annapurna I and Daulagiri is soaring above. This trek is one of the Himalayan's true classics.

Langtang Region Trek

The Langtang Valley lies to the North of Kathmandu on the borders of Tibet. It is a beautiful alpine region containing some prime examples of temperate and sub alpine vegetation. Langtang is one of the most accessible trekking regions in Nepal but nevertheless offers a wilderness experience without the sometimes arduous travel involved.

Whilst the area cannot boast any of the Himalayan giants, the scenery is every bit as spectacular as that found on the more popular trails. Because it is far less frequented, many people who travel this region speak of a real sense of adventure.

A visit to the Langtang valley offers an opportunity to explore Tamang culture and villages, climb small peaks and visit glaciers at a more comfortable altitude than other trekking regions. A day to rest at Kyangjin Gompa allows time for exploration of the extensive glacier system in the higher valley and small peak climbs.

Treks can be varied, by either a return to the road head at Dhunche for the journey back to Kathmandu or alternatively extending a further six days to trek via the Sacred Lakes of Gosainkund(4300 meters) and the Helambu region. Helambu region lies to the south of the Langtang region; it is a lush area to the north of Kathmandu inhabited by Sherpa and Tamang people. The Sherpas of this region are very different in their practices from their cousins in the Everest region. The region contains some beautiful forests and very interesting villages. This area is easily accessible from Kathmandu and is ideal for people with less time.
